  1. Step 1

    Combine the chopped coriander, oil, cumin, garlic, lemon juice, paprika and turmeric in a small bowl. Combine the prawns and half the coriander mixture in a medium bowl.

    Divide the couscous among serving plates. Top with the prawn skewers and sprinkle with the coriander sprigs. Serve with the yoghurt and lemon wedges.
